  • Patent number: 7945801
    Abstract: A memory interface circuit is connectable to a DDR-SDRAM which outputs read data in synchronization with a data strobe signal together with the data strobe signal. A clock generator generates internal clock signals and memory clock signals supplied to the DDR-SDRAM. The memory interface circuit determines a delay of arrival of the data strobe signal relative to the corresponding internal clock signal by using a data strobe signal inputted in a read cycle with respect to the DDR-SDRAM, samples the arrived read data, based on a signal obtained by shifting the phase of the arrived data strobe signal, and synchronizes the sampled read data to the corresponding internal clock signal on the basis of the result of determination of the arrival delay.

  • Patent number: 7528473
    Abstract: An electronic circuit includes a first semiconductor device and a second semiconductor device on a mounting substrate. The mounting substrate lines have lengths which are made unequal for respective bits. Assembling lines which reach connecting electrodes of a semiconductor chip from the external terminals of the second semiconductor device have made lengths thereof unequal for respective bits. The unequal lengths of the mounting substrate lines have a relationship which offsets the unequal lengths of the assembling lines.

  • Publication number: 20070194433
    Abstract: An electronic circuit includes a first semiconductor device (4) and a second semiconductor device (3) on a mounting substrate. The mounting substrate includes a plurality of mounting substrate lines (201 to 204) which are connected in common with external terminals of a plurality of bits of the first semiconductor device and external terminals of a plurality of bits of the second semiconductor device for every bit. The mounting substrate lines have lengths thereof from the external terminals of the first semiconductor device to the external terminals of the second semiconductor device made unequal for respective bits. Assembling lines (361 to 364) which reach connecting electrodes of a semiconductor chip from the external terminals of the second semiconductor device have made lengths thereof unequal for respective bits. Here, the unequal lengths of the mounting substrate lines have a relationship which offsets the unequal lengths of the assembling lines.
